If you've been scouring Walking Dead spoiler sites looking for clues on Negan's victim (or victims), you'll undoubtedly have found very convincing predictions on who will die.

These predictions are largely formed by set sightings and a process of elimination (if actors A and B have been seen filming episode 5, surely that means they've not been killed by Negan?), but all may not be as it seems.

To throw a spanner in the works, showrunner Robert Kirkman has revealed that the AMC series has been using body doubles to throw nosy people off the scent.

"There has been a lot of tactics used in filming that have been used on films - monitoring actor movement and trying to do things in secret," Kirkman told The Hollywood Reporter.

"We've employed body doubles in places to make people think that people are in places that they're not.

"It's pretty exciting to try and hide certain things. This is a big season, so we're not just protecting things that happen in the first episode. There are things that happen in the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth episode and beyond.

"We're trying to maintain that secrecy so when people watch the show, they can have that same experience they have in the comic where you don't know what's going to happen, and it comes as an exciting surprise as the story moves forward.

"There is a lot of secrecy surrounding this season, and when people watch the episodes, they'll see why and hopefully appreciate it."

Does that mean the two victims most people think will die could actually be safe?
